lifter woes

[FJ40Jim]

The pics show the top insert is not pressed in against the shoulder. The 2 that failed for me just fell in that last ~1/16" while driving down the highway (sustained hi-rpm operation), causing those 2 cylinders to sound like diesel. If the tops were pressed in 'til they hit the shoulder, then machined to be the correct height, it would be OK.

Great job CCOT for taking back the sub-par parts.

I can't find new 2F lifters on Cruiserparts.com. Do we have any other options besides Toyota now?

OEM is as low as ~$27: http://www.toyotapartszone.com/oem/toyota~lifter~valve~13751-61010.html
australian shop that ships to US is 16.80 for JF. add in the shipping and it comes out to just over $25 each for 12 shipped, so technically a little cheaper.

Glad to hear CCOT did you right. That's great!

Top quality chinese production.

I accidentally installed a couple sets of these when they first started coming into the US about 5 years ago.
The tops fell in on 2 of them.
Since then, only OEM style are allowed in builds.

OEM lifters are hollow cast one-piece.

Hi Jim,

Does this mean the OEM's are hydrolic lifters that compress and pump oil through the push rods? Thanks.

No. They are a hollow solid tappet lifter
